A Counterargument from Design Evolution is widely accepted, yet the question of cosmic design still looms large in the minds of scientists, philosophers, and theologians alike. The prevailing belief is that evolution and theism are compatible. Did God use evolution to realize his intended creatures? In Probability and Purpose, Phillips presents a novel argument that challenges the conventional view that evolution and theism are compatible. While Darwin's theory has long been considered a neutralizer of the theist's Argument from Design, this book argues that evolution, in fact, offers a decisive counterargument against all forms of design theism. With clear and accessible reasoning, Phillips explains how unguided evolution, with its narrow predictions, all but disproves the concept of a divine blueprint. Whether you're a curious thinker, a student of evolutionary theory, or someone engaged in philosophical inquiry, this book offers a thought-provoking perspective on the conflict between evolution and design.
